<h2>Indexing article pdf files in your
computer.</h2>
<p>If you are a first time user, please update the preferences dialog</p>
<p>First time users might find this as one of the most useful
features. If you have a lot of pdfs that are already saved in your
computer, you should index them so that the same pdfs do not need to
be downloaded again. This adds them to your database, from which point
you can either search for references and citations for these articles,
double click to open the pdf, or view and save images in the pdf file
to a local directory. Go to File.Index local pdfs (Alt-f-i) and the
below dialog will be opened.</p>
<p> As a first time user, you could
index all the pdfs in your computer. This is a recommended action
since this avoids having to download the same pdf twice. This will take a long time since
the program goes through every pdf file in your computer, extracts the
test and obtains details of the file. However, this might be the only
time this is done. Alternatively, if you know that most of your pdfs
are in one location, say the 'Documents' folder, then just choose that
directory using the button on the right. Indexing is done according to
the options that you had previously set. All directories are
recursively checked.</p>
